Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the abdominal area, while tightening the underlying muscles.

Answers to your frequently asked questions.
The surgery typically lasts between 2-4 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure and whether additional procedures (like liposuction) are included.
Most patients can return to work after about 2-3 weeks, but full recovery may take 6-8 weeks. Avoiding strenuous activities and heavy lifting during this period is crucial.
There will be a scar, but Dr. Daniel strategically places the incision along the lower abdomen, typically just above the bikini line, to minimize visibility. Over time, the scar will fade.
Some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common after the procedure, but pain can be managed with prescribed medication. Most patients report feeling much better after the first few days of recovery.
